While phthagoras was one of the greatest (not the first) to unite knowledge and make something out of it; I'd say Socrates/Plato pretty much assembled everything that there is to know and to be. I'm not really arguing with you there as they were all colosus of wisdom.

Socrates. Fairest man to ever walk on earth.

I love incest.

A certain amount of metal can become a chair, to create another chair you will need more matter.

The idea of a chair can impregnate any amount of matter and make more of them but, matter can only be one thing at a time. Ideas, as males can replicate themselves but only in presence or matter/woman; reality exist by itself but ideas give them shape.

Absurd, reality and matter is femenine, but ideas are definitely masculine.

>What should I expect?

Incest.

My favorite work is Invisible Cities, it's just so well structured and as deep as you want it to be.

He's a magnificent fantasy/surrealist writer, loved all three "Our Ancestors" stories but specially “The baron in the trees”. It just teaches so much about selfishness and conviction in such a beautiful way you actually feel like Cosimo.

As for others intellectual works like The sand collection I can only tell he was a well-read man and had high sensitiveness in art.

As for similar authors, I would recommend Julio Cortazar who loves to play with the structure of his books like in "if on a winter's night..." and of course J.L. Borges as another intellectual who put his philosophy thoughts in his stories.

Other than this is unacceptable.

I'm 27 and a vigin.

How do you explain that?

Aether
Eldrich essence
Cosmic wind

I loved the end of fall of Hyperion. It remind me of a power metal album called Terium; where mankind is left all alone again when he's separated from technology. If you have the time to listen to it, i recommend it.

It also makes you think of the present. Google is creating the data sphere, and somewhwere in the future it will be very real. What will happen if it is taken from us?

What will happen when instant knowledge makes short term memory useless?

Foundation, Hyperion and Dune are all good.

>NO, just no
No what? You don't agree with Hawking or you don't agree with me or do you not believe he say that?

>photos traveling faster than ht espeed of light does not change a lot
I guess it does. Thanks to Einstein is commonly believed that there are two times, one that works within the universe and is relative and other godly time that is absolute (mostly similar to Newton version of time). If there isn't a top speed in the universe then only the god time would be working.


BTW, I am posting this because some months ago I read 'The Grand Design' and just recently started 'The world as will and representation' and now my mind is full of fuck.

How do we deal with neutrinos being faster than photons (if)?

What would a philosopher say about a top speed in the universe, why it can't be infinite?

Do modern science helps us answer who are us, why are we here and were are we going?

Stephen Hawking says God is no longer necessary if physic laws can create stuff from nothingness (quantum mechanics), however he's just postponing the fundamental question to: Why does physic laws exist? How do modern philosophy deals with this?

Why isn't philosophy evolving alongside science?

It was right in it's predictions, unlike 1984.

I hate to mark books, so I put post-it's whenever I need to make a note.

Search for alchemy books and expect for freemasons to recruit you.

Maybe Descartes can bring you back again.

Categorical imperative says no. But I do believe in a supreme something and a divine plan, so I really don't know.
